To call Fargo a pleasant surprise is an understatement. By far the greatest achievement is the superb casting and plotting. The universe of compelling characters initially takes a similar plot to the motion picture, yet with each successive season increases into something arguably greater and more absorbing than the Coen Brothers classic. It also lovingly references a lot of the Coen's films through subtle use of music,dark humour and creative cinematography. I have to say this is up there with Breaking Bad, House of Cards... you name it. A distinct trilogy, with its own quirky network of ideas including Greek mythology, folk tales and even biblical references. Season two is a particular delight and fleshes out the backstory of the initial seasons characters.
